Accademia Drip Tray

Accademia Drip Tray. Use for Gaggia Accademia. Before ordering this item, please compare the large image with the tray in the machine. This stupid designer changed the shape of tray only to keep his job. The other tray used in this machine ia part # 17001901. This is Philips/Saeco machine made after 2006.

We do not recommend or sell any Gaggia & Philip/Saeco espresso machine made in 2006 or after. Poorly designed machines with excessive plastic parts cause frequent breakdowns.

1- To maintain optimum water temperature and pressure for espresso, descale your machine every 2-3 months. Regular descaling helps prevent 70% of common malfunctions. If cycles are missed for several months, then extra descaling is recommended. One descaling cycle cannot eliminate sediment accumulated over a long period of time. Furthermore, make sure to descale the espresso side of the machine, as well. Switch machine into pre-ground mode to complete descaling of espresso side. Automated electronic descaling does not clean the espresso side of the machine. Cleancaf, Cafiza, Joe Glow, Brew Rite & Pulycaff are Baking Soda sold as “Descaler;”, which are ineffective for removing sediment.

For manual descaling: Prepare Descaling solution in a container outside the machine. Pour the solution in water tank. Use 6 to 8 rinse cycles (or pre-ground coffee cycle without adding coffee powder) with pause of 5 minutes between each rinse. Refill additional descaling solution as neccessary. Next: Dispense hot water from hot water spout 1/2 cup Descaling solution at a time. Allow 5- minutes pause between each dispensing to allow the solution to dissolve Calcium sediment. Use this method every 3 months without waiting for the machine reminder.

2- Never use R.O or Distilled water. It does not eliminate the need to descale. The negative electron ion on the molecule of water interact with metal to form powder.

3- Avoid using dark roast oily beans. Oily beans and fine grinds produce over extracted coffee, which clogs the coffee grinder. Strong Coffee is made with less water (2-Oz or less).

4- Do not refrigerate or freeze beans. They absorb moisture, which in turn clogs the grinder burrs and may cause rusting. Clean coffee grinder every three months.
